J Jackie Clune 00:30 I'm Jackie clune. And every fortnight or so, I'll be interviewing Equity members in our virtual green room about the issues affecting them right now. Perhaps inspired by events either in the industry or the world at large. For this first episode, I'll be focusing on the issue of women's safety. Our profession often means late night travel, unsocial hours, and all the challenges other late night workers face. J Jackie Clune 00:58 The recent tragic murder of Sarah Everard, who was just walking home at 9:30pm has reopened the wider issue of how safe women feel on the streets at night. I'm sure most, if not all female Equity members, will be familiar with the tips and tricks we all use in order to feel safer getting home at night. Keys in your hand, stick to brightly lit streets. Have your phone at the ready, pretend to be talking to someone on it if need be.

To achieve this, the Equity Council has a network of committees, at the heart of which are three influential industrial committees — Screen and New Media, Stage and Variety, Circus and Entertainers — with the authority to conduct negotiations. These committees, made up of members with recent experience of relevant work and elected by members with similar experience, are at the forefront of improving pay and conditions for members. Supporting them are five specialist committees — Audio, Dance, Directors and Designers, Singers and Stage Management — all made up of members with recent relevant working experience.

University of Bradford BEING 50: A psycho-social study of a cohort of women in contemporary society from a life course perspective Fiona Ellen Anderson Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Psychology Studies Department of Social Science and Humanities 2010 Abstract The economic, demographic and social changes of the latter half of the C20th have influenced the experience of individuals now at ‘midlife’. Arguably the impact of these changes has been more profound for women; specifically in the UK for those educated to be the wives, mothers and carers of industrial Britain (Newsom, 1963). Now around 50 years old this group of women are likely to experience a lengthy period of ‘postmaternity’ (Sheriff and Weatherall, 2009) extending to over thirty years in many cases. This research considers the experience of this metaphorically entitled ‘telescopic’ cohort (Goldstein and Schlag, 1999). The major corpus of age related research assumes a linear developmental progression of life stages (Erikson, 1951, 1968; Gould, 1978; Levinson, 1978; Levinson, 1996; Klohnen et al., 1996; Miner-Rubinio, 2004). Drawing on life course theory (Elder, 1995; Runyan, 1982; Super, 1980) enables this research to explore how women may have changed assumptions about themselves and their expectations as the social world has changed around them, moreover offers an alternative to the essentialist, linear, deterministic models of ageing.
